Former Morton police chief top draw in Tazewell District 2

PEKIN — Former Morton police Chief Nick Graff was the top draw Tuesday in the four-candidate Republican primary for Tazewell County Board District 2.

With all 46 precincts reporting, Graff led the way with 2,862 votes, 28 percent of the total.

Fellow incumbents Brett Grimm (2,557 votes, 25 percent) and Dean Grimm (2,407 votes, 24 percent) also moved on to the Nov. 4 general election, in which they will probably run unopposed because there was no Democratic primary in the district.
